Melly Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Need to know what you guys think of this soap, it was just cut and needs to be cleaned up a bit. This is scented lavender with shea butter and silk. First time using a water discount, first time using silk, and im still kind of new to oxides. Was downstairs soaping last night after I get the little one in bed, and hubby starts yelling for me to come to bed with him, saying its ridiculas that im making soap at this hour, and he needs to get up early (its only 9:30 pm at this point ) So, needless to say I rushed this poor batch. Im not sure if im happy with it or not, it has oxide specks in it and im not used to a textured top from a slab mold. Im hoping to start going to farmers market soon and trying to build up some stock, should I add this to it or keep this batch for personal use / christmas presents.

elle110 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It is awesome, I love textured soap, I, myself would not even trim it up much. So what do you think of the water discount, does the bar feel real firm? Congrats!!!!Elle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 yes definatly much firmer going to stick to a water discount if im not looking for a really good swirl from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guppygirl Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I think it's fine, specks & all. I haven't gotten the hang of oxides either & my last lavender batch looks pretty similar. Everyone else says it looks fine & I keep thinking I should just use it for gifts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I REALLY like it, like the color, like the little speckles, like the waviness of the tops, I just like it all. So, have you tried it out yet? How does the silk make it feel? I'm sooo curious about that, wondering if you can really notice a big difference or not? GREAT JOB!!

Jeana Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 It looks great!! It has texture but it still has a beautiful smooth creamy appearance too. Definitely a keeper:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yes, i tried it, silk goes in every batch from now on It makes the lather feel very smooth and luxerious, hard to describe, but I definatly recommend it, I just cut up a piece of 100% silk i bought at the fabric store and added it into my lye.
